3.6 kbs Ouch. It had better be funny. 15 Minutes is a long time to wait for 1 1.7M file.

Not if you get around the server's per-connection bandwidth throttling via GetRight's Segmented Downloading feature...

The originals of those PSA's kept us in stitches here at work for weeks when they first hit the web. The newer ones aren't as insanely odd, but are pretty good.

Yeah, it's good on a modem for resumable downloads, but it really sings on broadband, because you can download multiple streams from the same source, or in the case of a particularly large and popular download, you can grab portions of it from multiple mirror sites at the same time.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. How are these even remotely funny?

Pretty much in the same vein as this...

I guess humor is totally subjective It's particularly funny to me because I used to watch G.I. Joe and remember a lot of the original PSA's.
